"Hi, I'm Charles Stewart, Junior, and I'm going to show you how to take a snapshot of a Windows computer screen. One of the cool things about Windows, it already has this feature built into it, so you don't need to buy an, you know, an external program to do it, which you can if you want to. But, it's really simple. All you gotta do is go over, and there's a print screen button on most Window's keyboards, and you just push that button once, and then, what it's done is it's saved it in it's memory. So, then you can open, you know, whatever program you have, such as Microsoft Paint, which we...we're going to use for the demonstration. Or you can do, ah, if you've Adobe, Photo Shop, or something like that. So you open the program up, and you've got a new document up. And then you hit control V, or you can hit, you can right click on the screen and paste. And then, the image, then I just captured my desktop, and pasted it into the program. And then from there, you can pretty much do whatever you want. This is really good for saving maybe a web site that you wanna, you know, save the image from, or stuff like that. And, ah, that's it for how to save a screen from a Windows computer."
